HomeMy WebLinkAbout1105 Recycling Awareness PROCLAMATION
· Ashlanders appreciate our area's natural beauty and natural resources.
· Every individual's action of preventing waste, reusing everything possible, and
recycling become a cumulative part of the solution toward protecting our
rivers, lakes and streams; keeping toxic materials out of the environment; and
protecting our air quality.
· Reducing waste and using resources wisely saves our natural resources, creates
jobs, and provides for future generations.
· Local governments, schools and businesses, along with concerned citizens, are
working together to recycle more and to adopt environmentally sustainable
buying practices.
WHEREAS, Ashlanders and Oregonians are recycling more than ever.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council and Mayor on behalf of the citizens of
Ashland, hereby proclaim November 9 - 16, 2002 as
RECYCLING AWARENESS WEEK
in Ashland and encourage each Ashland citizen to practice essential habits of
reducing, reusing and recycling in their homes, workplaces and schools.
Dated this 5th day of November, 2002.
